Message: [QUOTE="heartly87, post: 3012570, member: 8651"] I get what your saying, but as a health professional I see this as a ludicrous proposition. The reason PEDs are PEDs, are they have either a positive effect on hormones that directly enhance muscle growth, recovery and physical ability or provide an unfair advantage in stamina such as stimulants. You know that and everyone knows that. A medical procedure such as a pain shot, that is used to numb an area about the size of 50c coin does absuletly nothing to improve an athletes preformance in fact it puts them at risk of being injured further. Its hyperbole I know, but getting surgery is exactly the same thing. How many players are running around with bits of metal in them, from their heads down. Are they somehow enhanced? Does a new ligament improve a players performance? The answer is no, it puts them as close to baseline as possible. If the fixation is actually on the chemical compounds being injected then that is also easily debated. Are the antidepressants that some players use to get out of bed performance enhancing? What about Birds injections to combat his otherwise debilitating rheumatoid arthritis? Should the kid be playing chess in wheelchair instead? [/QUOTE]
